Ron Rivera Must Go

Hiring a rookie head coach and then turning around and  drafting a player like Cam was never a good move. We needed someone who knew what they were doing from the start.

 

 

When Rivera said during the middle of the first season "he had to learn how to be a head coach" that was the nail in the coffin all the way back then.

 

He does not hold a candle to somebody like Harbaugh or Kelly. They have been in the business and know the ropes. And it shows instantly.

Lets be real, does anyone in their sane mind actually think Ryan wouldnt have marched down the field in field goal range even if we made that FG. Come on, 1:30 left to go against this D, might as well be a full qtr and all three time outs left.

Im kind of glad he missed the FG, it would have hurt worse when Ryan would have marched it down the field. I was 110% sure even if we made the FG, they would have still ended up winning anyway.

 

I am not glad the Panthers lost..BUT agree with everything else you said here.  I was looking at the clock and thinking, the Falcons will have had plenty of time to score, even with no timeouts.  You have to at least get one more first down.

Can  you imagine if the Panthers would have hired Bruce Arians two years ago instead of keeping Rivera. Sigh/SMH

 

Arizona's 9-1 now. And they beat the loaded Detroit Lions, cause they have a better coach.

Bruce is a great offensive minded coach and would have been a better hire for drafting a raw QB like Cam no.1 overall. He also hasnt been passed up 9 times for a gig either.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
